iPad Cool feature idea

I received an sms text message on my iPhone the other day while I was using my iPad. I was thinking what about an sms test message relay feature on the iPhone that resends the text as an iMessage to be read on other devices?

I suggested it in Apple feature requests.

Would others find this useful?

Only problem is that you couldn't reply from the iPad, so it would be somewhat awkward.

I've felt this way many a' time. I really don't feel like it'd be that difficult to implement.

The more difficult part could be the opposite occurrence - you receive the relayed SMS from your iPhone to your iPad, but how does the system handle replying from the iPad? Does it iMessage it back to your phone, which then autosends it as an SMS to the intended recipient? Definitely some type of workaround would have to be implemented there, but probably doable.

Nevertheless, I would love this, and not just for my iPad, but from Messages on my Mac as well!

EDIT: Whoops, sort of just restated what you said prior to my comment. Heh.
